Quote janesBydiction: Not shocked. MM knows how wildly unpopular the Shadam pairing is and probably knows of the vitriol that is directed to Sharon everyday on Facebook. That would explain why Shadam abruptly ended like that back in January. MM was surprised when Shadam got booed at an event in Vancouver, while Chadam was wildly cheered for. She's toxic and is clearly distancing himself from that. Usually actors don't just outright say a once popular pairing is done and alienate a fan base like that.

Quote TwoOfEach: Sharon fans may hate Chelsea (and Avery), but that doesn't mean the audience as a whole does. Facebook is full of Sharon hate and Navery/Chadam love; twitter loves Chelsea and Chadam; and ratings are UP with Chelsea and Avery prominently featured.

I love Chelsea, and I'm not alone.

well with all due respect, speak for yourself b/c I'm NOT seeing any ratings being up. but Just my opinion..

Ratings last week were up 334,00 from last year (2012), and 488,000 more than 2011. So I would say that ratings are improving.

Quote gardengal: They could have put Shadam back together earlier this year. It seems that did not interest JFP. Quite frankly Sharon Newman doesn't seem to interest JFP at all. MM is just stating the obvious about Shadam.

well, if I was JFP, I would be counting my blessing right now b/c I assure you her days are NUMBERED thanks to that INFAMOUS petition going around.. Just saying..

The petition means nothing if ratings are good. We'll see reaction to the Delia s/l and if people really quit. Ratings last year were horrible so there's quite a bit of room to drop and still have year over year gains.

Okay :) If I' m understanding you correct, are you saying the ratings are going to up with the Delia story line?

In either case I'm NOT at all concern about any Chadam reunion b/c folding clothes and constant giggling is the real REASON why we viewers watch soap opera ~)

but to each is own :)

No I'm saying that the ratings have been significantly better than last years ratings and that the ratings nosedived last November sweeps so that JFP can take a large ratings hit with Delia and still do better than last year.

Besides, giggling and folding clothes was MAB's vision of Chadam; JFP's vision is much more complicated and messy. I imagine it will end up being something like the early days of Carly & Sonny, Todd & Blair or a less tortured Ejami.

well, I'm very happy for all you Chadam fans if a reunion is what you guys will get.

but here's the thing with me, FIRST IMPRESSIONS are everything to me and Chadam's first will be FOREVER embedded in my mind and it was NOT a good first impression.

I hope he's right, but I don't think any of the actors/actresses really know what's going on. I mean, who woulda thunk that Sharon and Victor would get back together? With what some of the sick writers have done, I would say never say never unfortunately...

I like her, to, so you're definitely not alone!

Chelsea is no better than Dylan, both have been shoved down our throats form Day 1!And quite frankly these characters are pretty useless. JMHO!

I hope is he right also ...i never bought that any mother would become lovers with a man who had done to her what Adam did to Sharon. Shadam turned me from a Sharon fan into a hater!
